A wheel chock system includes a wheel chock configured to support a wheel of a vehicle and having an arm that extends from the wheel chock. The wheel chock includes a crossbar that has an outer wall, an open interior, and a tab extending from the outer wall into the open interior. The arm has an outer surface in which a notch is defined, and when the notch is aligned with the tab the arm is slidably received in the open interior and extendable therefrom.

An apparatus includes a mandrel assembly, an anchor, a strap, a winch, a first pedal, an advancer. The mandrel assembly is positioned on a first side of a tire of a vehicle and to couple to a track assembly of rail car. The anchor is positioned on a second side of the tire and to couple to the track assembly. The strap assembly is coupled to the mandrel assembly and the anchor and wraps around the tire. The winch is coupled to the mandrel assembly. The winch includes a first sprocket. The advancer is coupled to the first pedal and engages the first sprocket such that, when the first pedal is pushed towards the winch, the advancer pushes the winch such that the winch and the mandrel assembly rotate in a first direction.

The present invention provides an automated removable frame system for transporting vehicles in a container. The frame system is be assembled in the container, the vehicles are loaded on the frame system, the container is shipped to the location, the vehicles are unloaded from the frame system, and the frame system is disassembled and returned to the manufacture or stored for later use.

A vehicle tow assembly includes an elongated, rigid upper member that attaches to a tow vehicle, and a rigid, elongated lower member that attaches, using U-bolts and/or a chain, to a vehicle to be towed. A downwardly-slanting connecting member connects the upper and lower members such that the upper member is higher off the ground than the lower member. A saddle block on the upper member can be turned one way to engage the fifth wheel of the tow vehicle and can be flipped 180 degrees to engage the frame of the tow vehicle when no fifth wheel is present.

A forward facing vehicle transport (FFVT) and return transport vehicle (RTV) combination is provided. The FFVT of the combination includes at least a main support member supported by an axle, and the axle in turn is supported by a wheel. The FFVT further provides a toe tongue that is secured to the main support member and extends in a first direction from the main support, and a pull tongue secured to the main support member and extending in a second direction from then main support. The RTV of the combination provides a return transport vehicle axle supporting a retracting bed, which includes a front section in sliding interaction with a rear section. The RTV further provides a return transport vehicle guide post secured to the axle, and a return transport vehicle vertical slide member attached to the rear section of the return transport vehicle.

The present invention is modular truck bed mounting apparatus and kit therefor. The apparatus comprises a length of E-track, a first tube, a plurality of second tubes, and a plurality of fasteners. The apparatus is preferably mounted to the head wall of a pickup truck bed and is useful in quickly and easily securing objects thereto.

The present invention is modular offset mounting apparatus for use in efficiently and densely removeably mounting objects comprising a structure having a plurality of spring E-fittings on a first side and an E-track section on a second side. The modular offset mounting apparatus is adapted such that the spring E-fittings of the modular offset mounting apparatus may be removeably engaged to a section of E-track that is fastened to a structure such as a truck bed and such that at least one spring E-fitting such as a spring E-fitting connected to a wheel chock is removeably engaged to the length of E-track of the modular offset mounting apparatus. By so mounting the modular offset mounting apparatus, objects such as motorcycles may be more densely positioned and mounted such as in a bed of a pickup truck.
